Paul Michael Levesque[2] (born July
27, 1969)[2] is an American professional wrestler and actor, better known by his
ring name Triple H, an abbreviation of his former ring name, Hunter Hearst
Helmsley. He is currently signed with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), but
is inactive due to an injury. He wrestles on its Raw brand.[6]
Before joining WWE, Levesque began
his wrestling career with World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1993, wrestling
under the ring name Terra Ryzing and later as Jean-Paul Lévesque.[2] Levesque
joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1995 with the on-screen persona
of wealthy sophisticate Hunter Hearst Helmsley.[1] He later changed his name to
Triple H and adopted an alternative image in the stable D-Generation X (DX).
After the dissolution of DX, Triple H was pushed as a main event wrestler,
winning several singles championships.[3] As part of a storyline, Triple H
married Stephanie McMahon, who later became his real-life spouse. In 2003,
Triple H formed another stable known as Evolution,[3] and in 2006 and 2009,
briefly reformed DX with Shawn Michaels.[7]
Overall, Levesque has won 23
championships in WWE, including thirteen World Championships, having won the WWE
Championship eight times, and the World Heavyweight Championship five times
(Triple H is also recognized as the first World Heavyweight Champion under WWE's
lineage).[8][9] In addition, Levesque won the 1997 King of the Ring, the 2002
Royal Rumble, and was the second Grand Slam Championship winner.[3]
Outside wrestling, Levesque has
made numerous guest appearances in film and on television.

Wrestling career
Early
career
Levesque was born in Nashua, New
Hampshire. In his youth, he was a fan of professional wrestling and his favorite
wrestler was Ric Flair.[1][4] Levesque became aware of bodybuilding at the age
of fourteen; after graduating from high school in 1987, Levesque entered several
bodybuilding competitions.[10] He was crowned Teenage Mr. New Hampshire at the
age of nineteen. During this time, he met Ted Arcidi and began to consider a
career in professional wrestling.[4][10]
Levesque enrolled at Killer
Kowalski's wrestling school in 1992 after it was recommended to him by
Arcidi.[4][10] He made his in-ring debut on November 1 of the same year
wrestling against Flying Tony Roy.[11] Levesque joined the Independent Wrestling
Federation (IWF), which used trainees from Kowalski's school in their promotion.
Here, he became the IWF Heavyweight Champion and started using the name Terra
Ryzing.[2]
World
Championship Wrestling
In early 1994, Levesque signed a
one year contract with World Championship Wrestling (WCW).[4][12] In his first
televised match, He wrestled as a villain and defeated Brian Armstrong.[1] He
continued using the name Terra Ryzing until mid-1994, when he was renamed
Jean-Paul Lévesque.[1][13] This gimmick referred to his surname's French origins
and he was asked to speak with a French accent, as he could not speak
French.[14] During this time, he began using his finishing maneveur, the
Pedigree.
Levesque had a brief storyline feud
with Alex Wright that ended at Starrcade 1994[1] with Wright pinning him.[15]
Between late 1994 and early 1995, Levesque briefly teamed with Lord Steven
Regal, whose snobby British persona was a good match with his similar
persona.[13] The team was short-lived, however, as Lévesque left for the World
Wrestling Federation (WWF) in January 1995 after WCW turned down his request to
be pushed as a singles competitor.[2][13][14]
World
Wrestling Federation / Entertainment (1995-present)
The
Connecticut Blueblood (1995–1997)
As a continuation of his gimmick in
WCW, Levesque started his WWF career as the "Connecticut Blueblood" Hunter
Hearst Helmsley.[14] Levesque appeared in taped vignettes, in which he talked
about how to use proper etiquette, up until his wrestling debut on the April 30,
1995 episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge.[16]
Although he was heavily pushed in
the first few months after his debut, Levesque's career stalled during 1996,
starting off with being mired in a feud with Duke "The Dumpster" Droese
following a loss in the Free For All at the 1996 Royal Rumble.[17][18] Up until
that event, his angle included appearing on television each week with a
different female valet (which included Playboy Playmates Shae Marks and Tylyn
John).[1] Sable was his valet at WrestleMania XII, and after his loss to
Ultimate Warrior,[19] as part of the storyline, he took his aggressions out on
her. The debuting Marc Mero—her real-life husband—came to her rescue, starting a
feud between the two wrestlers.[20]
On May 28, 1996, Helmsley appeared
on WWF Superstars against Marty Garner.[21] When Levesque attempted to perform
the Pedigree, Garner mistook the maneuver for a double underhook suplex and
tried to jump up with the move, causing him to land squarely on top of his head
and suffer neck damage.[21] Garner sued the WWF, eventually settling out of
court and later discussed the incident in an appearance on The Montel Williams
Show.
Levesque was known backstage as one
of the members of The Kliq, a group of wrestlers including Shawn Michaels, Kevin
Nash, Sean Waltman and Scott Hall, who were known for influencing Vince McMahon
and the WWF creative team.[17] He was scheduled to win the 1996 King of the Ring
tournament, but was demoted from championship contender to "jobber to the stars"
after the Madison Square Garden Incident, in which the Kliq broke character
after a match to say goodbye to the departing Nash and Hall.[22] Despite the
punishment, Helmsley did have several successes following the MSG Incident. Mr.
Perfect became his manager and he won the WWF Intercontinental Championship for
the first time on October 21, 1996, defeating Marc Mero.[20][22] When Mr.
Perfect left the WWF, his departure was explained to be a result of Helmsley
turning his back on his manager as soon as he won the Intercontinental
Championship. Levesque held the belt for nearly four months before dropping it
to Rocky Maivia on the February 13, 1997 special edition of Monday Night Raw,
called Thursday Raw Thursday.[23] For a very brief time, Helmsley was
accompanied by Mr. Hughes, who was his storyline bodyguard.[24] After losing the
Intercontinental title, he feuded with Goldust, defeating him at WrestleMania
13.[25] During their feud, Chyna debuted as his new bodyguard.[26]
D-Generation X (1997–1999)
Main article: D-Generation X
Helmsley's push resumed in 1997,
when he won the 1997 King of the Ring tournament by defeating Mankind in the
finals.[22][27] Later that year, Shawn Michaels, Helmsley, Chyna and Rick Rude
formed D-Generation X (DX). This stable later became known for pushing the
envelope, as Michaels and Helmsley made risqué promos—spawning the catchphrase
"Suck It", using a "crotch chop" hand motion,[28] and sarcastically deriding
Bret Hart and Canada. By that point, Helmsley had fully dropped the "blueblood
snob" gimmick, appearing in T-shirts and leather. During this period, his ring
name was shortened to simply Triple H.[22] Even after the DX versus Hart
Foundation storyline ended, Helmsley continued to feud with the sole remaining
member Owen Hart over the WWF European Championship. This ended in a match
between the two at WrestleMania XIV, with the stipulation that Chyna had to be
handcuffed to then-Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter. Helmsley won after Chyna threw
powder into Slaughter's eyes, momentarily "blinding" him and allowing her to
interfere in the match.
After WrestleMania, Michaels was
forced into temporary retirement due to a legitimate back injury sustained at
the Royal Rumble,[29] with Triple H taking over the leadership position in
DX,[22] claiming that his now-former associate had "dropped the ball". He
introduced the returning X-Pac the night after WrestleMania and joined forces
with the New Age Outlaws.[22][30] As 1998 went along, D-Generation X became more
popular, turning the group from villains to fan favorites. It was also during
this time that Triple H began a feud with the leader of the Nation of Domination
and rising WWF villain, The Rock.[10] This storyline rivalry eventually led to a
feud over the Intercontinental Championship, which Triple H won in a ladder
match at SummerSlam.[10] He did not hold the title long, however, as he was
sidelined with a legitimate knee injury.[10] When The Rock won the WWF
Championship at Survivor Series,[31] the rivalry between the two continued, as
DX fought The Corporation stable, of which The Rock was the main star. Triple H
received a shot at the WWF Championship on the January 25, 1999 edition of Raw
in an "I Quit" match against The Rock, but the match ended when Triple H was
forced to quit or see his aide Chyna chokeslammed by Kane.[10] This began a new
angle for Triple H, as Chyna betrayed him by attacking him after the match and
joining The Corporation.[10]
As part of the storyline, at
WrestleMania XV, Triple H beat Kane with the aid of Chyna, who was thought to
have rejoined DX.[10] Later on in the night, he betrayed his long-time friend
and fellow DX member X-Pac by helping Shane McMahon retain the European
Championship and joined The Corporation.[10] After Triple H's villain turn in
early 1999, he moved away from his DX look, taping his fists for matches,
sporting new and shorter wrestling trunks, and adopting a shorter hairstyle.[10]
Levesque's gimmick changed as he fought to earn a WWF title shot.[10] After
numerous failed attempts at winning the championship, Triple H and Mankind
challenged WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin to a Triple Threat match at
SummerSlam, which featured Jesse "The Body" Ventura as the special guest
referee. Mankind won the match by pinning Austin.[32] The following night on
Raw, Triple H defeated Mankind to win his first WWF Championship.[10]
Triple H dropped the WWF
Championship to Vince McMahon on the September 16, 1999 edition of SmackDown!
before regaining it at Unforgiven in a Six-Pack Challenge that included Davey
Boy Smith, Big Show, Kane, The Rock, and Mankind. He defeated Stone Cold Steve
Austin at No Mercy before dropping the title to Big Show at Survivor Series.
Triple H then continued his feud with Vince McMahon by marrying his daughter,
Stephanie McMahon. He then defeated McMahon at Armageddon. As a result of the
feud, an angle with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon began which carried the WWF
throughout the next seventeen months; together they were known as the
"McMahon-Helmsley Faction".[33]
McMahon-Helmsley Era (2000–2001)
By January 2000, Triple H dubbed
himself "The Game," implying that he was at the top of the wrestling world, and
was nicknamed "The Cerebral Assassin" by Jim Ross. On the January 3 edition of
Raw is War, Triple H defeated The Big Show to win his third WWF
championship.[34]
Triple H feuded with Mick Foley in
early 2000 in a storyline that ended with a Hell in a Cell match at No Way Out
that sent Foley into retirement.[35] Triple H pinned The Rock at WrestleMania
2000 to retain the title,[36] but lost it at Backlash to The Rock.[37] He
regained it three weeks later, in an Iron Man match at Judgment Day,[38] only to
lose it back to The Rock at King of the Ring.[39] Hunter then entered a
storyline feud with Chris Jericho, which culminated in a Last Man Standing match
at Fully Loaded.[39]
A later storyline feud between
Triple H and Steve Austin started when it emerged that Triple H had paid off
Rikishi to run down Austin at Survivor Series, causing him to take a year off.
In reality, Austin's previous neck injuries started bothering him again, forcing
him to have surgery. In 2000, Triple H and Austin had a match at Survivor Series
that ended when Triple H tried to trick Austin into coming into the parking lot
to run him over again, only to have Austin lift his car up with a forklift and
flip the car onto its roof 10 feet high. Triple H returned a few weeks later and
attacked Austin. The feud continued into 2001 and ended in a Three Stages of
Hell match in which Helmsley defeated Austin. In 2001, Triple H also feuded with
The Undertaker, who defeated him at WrestleMania X-Seven.[40] The night after
WrestleMania, Triple H interfered in a steel cage match between Austin (who had
just won the WWF Championship) and The Rock where he joined forces with Austin
and double teamed on The Rock,[41] forming a tag team called The Two-Man Power
Trip. Triple H then defeated Chris Jericho for his third Intercontinental
Championship on the April 5 edition of SmackDown!,[42] and won it for a fourth
time two weeks later by defeating Jeff Hardy. Triple H then became a tag team
champion for the first time at Backlash when he and Austin defeated Kane and The
Undertaker in a winner-take-all tag match.[43]
During the May 21, 2001 episode of
Raw, he suffered a legitimate and career-threatening injury.[1][44] In the
night's main event, he and Austin were defending the Tag Team Championship
against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. At one point, Jericho had Austin trapped
in the Walls of Jericho. Triple H ran in to break it up, but just as he did, he
suffered a tear in his left quadriceps muscle,[1][44] causing it to come
completely off the bone.[4] Despite his inability to place any weight on his
leg, Triple H was able to complete the match.[4] He even allowed Jericho to put
him in the Walls of Jericho, a move that places considerable stress on the
quadriceps. The tear required an operation, which was performed by orthopedic
surgeon Dr. James Andrews. This injury brought an abrupt end to the
McMahon-Helmsley Era, as the rigorous rehabilitation process kept Triple H out
of action for over eight months,[1][4] completely missing The Invasion
storyline.
Return
from injury (2002)
Triple H returned to Raw as a fan
favorite on January 7, 2002 at Madison Square Garden.[4] He won the Royal Rumble
and received a WWF Undisputed Championship match at WrestleMania X8.[45] At
WrestleMania X8, Triple H beat Chris Jericho for the Undisputed
Championship.[1][45] After holding the title for a month, Helmsley dropped it to
Hulk Hogan at Backlash.[45] Triple H then became exclusive to the SmackDown!
roster due to the WWF Draft Lottery and continued to feud with Jericho,
culminating in a Hell in a Cell match at Judgment Day. On June 6, Triple H
defeated Hogan in a Number One Contenders match for the Undisputed Championship
at the King of the Ring against The Undertaker but was unsuccessful at the
event.
In the interim, between the Royal
Rumble and WrestleMania, the McMahon-Helmsley Faction was brought to an official
on-screen conclusion. By the time he returned, Triple H's on-screen marriage to
Stephanie McMahon was on the rocks, so Stephanie faked a pregnancy in order to
get him back on her side.[46] When he learned that it was fake, he dumped her
publicly on Raw when they were supposed to renew their wedding vows.[46]
Stephanie aligned with Jericho afterward,[46] but she was forced to leave after
losing a Triple Threat match on Raw the night after WrestleMania when she was
pinned by Triple H.[47] The divorce, and thus the storyline, was finalized at
Vengeance.[48]
Meanwhile, Shawn Michaels had made
his return to WWE and joined the New World Order (nWo). Michaels and Kevin Nash
planned to bring Triple H over to Raw in order to put him into the group. Vince
McMahon, however, disbanded the nWo following several backstage complications
and brought in Eric Bischoff as the Raw brand's new General manager. One of
Bischoff's first intentions was to follow up on the nWo's plan and bring Triple
H over to the Raw roster. Triple H did indeed go to the Raw brand, reuniting
with Shawn Michaels, but on July 22, he turned on Michaels by performing a
Pedigree on him during what was supposed to be a DX reunion, becoming a villain
again. The following week, Triple H smashed Michaels' face into a car window to
prove that Michaels was "weak". These events led to the beginning of a long
storyline rivalry between the former partners and an eventual "Unsanctioned
Street Fight" at SummerSlam, in which Michaels came out of retirement to win.
Afterwards, however, Triple H attacked him with a sledgehammer, and Michaels was
carried out of the ring.[49]
Before September 2, 2002, WWE
recognized only one champion for both the Raw and SmackDown! brands. After
SummerSlam, champion Brock Lesnar became exclusive to SmackDown!, leaving Raw
without a champion. Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff then awarded the World
Heavyweight Championship to Triple H in the form of the old WCW Championship
belt.[50] Triple H retain his title against Rob Van Dam at Unforgiven when Ric
Flair hit RVD with a sledgehammer, and against Kane at No Mercy in a title
unification match in which Triple won the Intercontinental Championship and
unified it with his World Heavyweight Championship, but he eventually dropped
the belt to Shawn Michaels in the first ever Elimination Chamber match at
Survivor Series.[51] He defeated RVD for the title shot at Armageddon with
Michaels as special referee. He regained the title from Michaels in a Three
Stages of Hell match at Armageddon.[51]
Evolution (2003–2005)
Main article: Evolution
(professional wrestling)
In January 2003, Triple H formed a
stable known as Evolution with Ric Flair, Randy Orton, and Batista. Triple H and
Ric Flair challenged RVD and Kane for the World Tag Team Titles, but they lost
the match. The group was pushed on Raw from 2003 to 2004. The height of their
dominance occurred after Armageddon when every member of Evolution left the
pay-per-view holding a title.[52] Triple H held the World Heavyweight
Championship for most of 2003 until Unforgiven, losing the title to Bill
Goldberg. After a failed attempt to win back the title from Goldberg in a
rematch at the Survivor Series, he finally regained the championship against
Goldberg in a triple threat match at Armageddon which also involved Kane. At the
2004 Royal Rumble, Triple H and Shawn Michaels fought in a Last Man Standing
match to a double countout, so Triple H retained the title as a result.[52]
Triple H dropped the title to Chris Benoit at WrestleMania XX,[53] and he was
unable to reclaim the belt from Benoit in subsequent rematches, including a
rematch from WrestleMania between Triple H, Benoit, and Shawn Michaels at
Backlash.[53]
He then ended his feud with
Michaels, defeating him in a Hell in a Cell match at Bad Blood.[53] After
another failed attempt, losing to Benoit at Vengeance, he focused on Eugene,
beating him at SummerSlam.[54] Triple H then regained the title from former
associate Randy Orton at Unforgiven.[55] Following a Triple Threat World
Heavyweight title defense against Benoit and Edge on the November 29, 2004
episode of Raw, the World Heavyweight Championship became vacant for the first
time.[56] At New Year's Revolution, Triple H won the Elimination Chamber to
begin his tenth world title reign.[57] At WrestleMania 21, Triple H lost the
championship to Batista,[58] and subsequently lost two rematches at Backlash and
Vengeance.[59][60] Following this, Triple H took some time off from wrestling,
suffering from minor neck problems.[11]
Triple H returned to Raw on October
3, 2005 as part of WWE Homecoming. He teamed with Flair to defeat Chris Masters
and Carlito. After the match, Triple H turned on Flair hitting him with a
sledgehammer, sparking a feud between the duo.[61] Flair defeated Triple H in a
Steel cage match at Taboo Tuesday for Flair's Intercontinental Championship.[62]
Subsequently, Triple H defeated Flair in a non-title Last Man Standing match at
Survivor Series to end their feud.[62]
D-Generation X revival (2006–2007)
Main article: D-Generation X
revival
Although Triple H failed to win the
Royal Rumble match at Royal Rumble, another championship opportunity arose for
Triple H in the Road to WrestleMania Tournament. He won the tournament, granting
him a match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 22. At WrestleMania, Triple
H and John Cena fought in the main event for the title, which Triple H lost via
submission.[63] Later that month at Backlash, Triple H was involved in another
WWE Championship match, fighting Edge and Cena in a Triple Threat match, where
he lost again. In an act of frustration, a bloodied Triple H used his
sledgehammer to attack both Edge and Cena and then performed a number of DX
crotch chops.[64] Triple H unsuccessfully attempted to win the WWE title from
Cena on numerous occasions, blaming his shortcomings on Vince McMahon, which
eventually lead to a feud between the McMahons and Triple H.
Shawn Michaels returned on the June
12 edition of Raw and soon reunited with Triple H to reform D-Generation X,
turning Triple H into a fan favorite once again.[7] DX defeated the Spirit Squad
at Vengeance in a 5-on-2 handicap match.[65] They continued their feud with
Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and the Spirit Squad for several weeks. They then
defeated the Spirit Squad again on the July 18, 2006 edition of Saturday Night's
Main Event in a 5-on-2 Elimination match. They then again defeated the McMahons
at SummerSlam, withstanding the attack of several handpicked WWE superstars by
Vince McMahon.[64] At Unforgiven, D-Generation X overcame the odds once again,
defeating The McMahons and ECW World Champion Big Show in a Hell in a Cell
match. During the match, DX embarrassed Vince by shoving his face in between Big
Show's buttocks, and DX won when Triple H broke a sledgehammer over the
shoulders of Vince McMahon after Michaels performed Sweet Chin Music on him.[66]
At Cyber Sunday during DX's feud
with Rated-RKO, special guest referee Eric Bischoff allowed the illegal use of a
weapon to give Rated-RKO the win.[66] At Survivor Series, DX got their revenge
when their team defeated Edge and Orton's team in an Elimination Match.[67] In
January 2007, at New Year's Revolution, DX and Rated-RKO fought to a no-contest
after Triple H suffered a legitimate torn right quadriceps (similar to the one
he suffered in 2001 but in the other leg) fifteen minutes into the
match.[68][69] Surgery was successfully performed on January 9, 2007 by Dr.
James Andrews.[68]
King of
Kings (2007–2009)
Triple H made his return at
SummerSlam, where he defeated King Booker.[70] After his return, he won the WWE
Championship at No Mercy after beating the newly named Champion, Randy Orton,
making Triple H an eleven-time world champion.[71] In the same event, Triple H
also defeated Umaga in his first title defense after Mr. McMahon declared his
already-scheduled bout with Umaga, a title match.[72] McMahon then announced,
Orton would receive a title rematch in a Last Man Standing match in the final
match of the event, which Orton won after an RKO onto the announcer's table,
thus ending Triple H's sixth reign.[72] Triple H's title reign at No Mercy is
the fifth shortest reign in WWE history, only lasting through the duration of
the event.[72] In the Raw Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, Triple H gained a
WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV, by outlasting five other men.[73]
However, at WrestleMania XXIV, Randy Orton retained after punting Triple H and
pinning John Cena following Triple H's Pedigree on Cena.[74] A month later, at
Backlash, Triple H won the title in a Fatal Four-Way Elimination match against
Orton, Cena, and John "Bradshaw" Layfield, tying the record for most WWE
Championship reigns with The Rock.[75] Triple H then retained the title against
Orton at Judgment Day in a Steel Cage match and again at One Night Stand in a
Last Man Standing match.[76][77] Orton suffered a legitimate collarbone injury
during the match, thus ending the feud prematurely.[78]
On June 23, 2008 edition of Raw,
Triple H was drafted to the SmackDown brand as a part of the 2008 WWE Draft, in
the process making the WWE Championship exclusive to SmackDown.[79] After
several successful title defenses against Edge, The Great Khali, and Jeff Hardy,
Triple H ultimately lost his title to Edge at the 2008 Survivor Series
pay-per-view. He then engaged himself in a feud against Vladimir Kozlov.[80]
After qualifying for the Elimination Chamber match at the No Way Out
pay-per-view, Triple H won the match to win his eighth WWE Championship,
surpassing the record originally set by The Rock at seven reigns.
Feud
with The Legacy and DX reunion (2009–2010)
On the February 16, 2009 episode of
Raw, Triple H made an appearance aiding Stephanie and Shane McMahon, after they
were attacked by Randy Orton.[81] On the February 20 episode of SmackDown,
Triple H was interviewed by Jim Ross, in the interview, footage was shown
highlighting the events that occurred on the February 16 episode of Raw. Ross
asked Triple H how he felt seeing that footage, in response, he broke character
(after 5 years of marriage) by admitting that Vince McMahon is his
father-in-law, that Shane is his brother-in-law, and that Stephanie is his wife,
thus creating a rivalry between Triple H and Orton. On the February 23 episode
of Raw, Triple H confronted Orton, before attacking him, Ted DiBiase, and Cody
Rhodes (a group known as The Legacy) with a sledgehammer and chasing them from
the arena.[82] Weeks later, it was announced that Triple H would defend the WWE
title against Orton at WrestleMania XXV.[83] At the event, Triple H defeated
Orton to retain the title.[84]
During the 2009 WWE Draft, Triple H
was drafted from SmackDown to Raw; since he was the reigning WWE Champion during
this time, he brought the title to Raw due to draft regulations.[85] At
Backlash, Triple H lost the WWE Championship to Randy Orton after The Legacy
defeated Triple H, Shane McMahon and Batista in a six-man tag team match. Triple
H was taken out on a stretcher,[86] and did not return until the June 8 episode
of Raw, when he confronted The Legacy.[87] On the August 17 episode of Raw,
Triple H reunited with Shawn Michaels to reform DX,[88] and defeated Legacy at
SummerSlam.[89] At TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs on December 13, DX defeated
Chris Jericho and The Big Show to win the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship in a
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.[90] On the February 8, 2010 episode of Raw,
DX lost the Unified Tag Team Championship to the team of The Miz and Big Show.
Afterwards Triple H participated in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber
match at the Elimination Chamber PPV which John Cena won. Shortly afterwards, he
began a feud with Sheamus thus leading to a match at WrestleMania which Triple H
won. The two had a rematch at Extreme Rules, designated as a Street Fight which
he lost due to being attacked before the match by Sheamus. He then took a hiatus
due to being injured.[91]

cross-promoted Raw and Hall's show, The Dead Zone. Hall's character, a psychic,
touches Triple H while he lounges beside a pool and has a vision of him falling
asleep in the sun, and fellow wrestler John Cena slapping Triple H's sunburned
back and leaving a handprint. He has also appeared in commercials for
bodybuilding supplements such as Stacker 2 and YJ Stinger. Levesque also
